toodles, don't remember where or when I heard this, but it was early on when I got in UNVC-the story I heard was Dr. Dalton had a nice contract with several pharmacies for syringes. Purdue came in behind him and offered the syringes to those same pharmacies free, knocking Doc out of a nice contract. One of the many reasons Doc has this problem with Big Pharma. Can't verify it but was what I heard.
